Check it out, folks — not only do we have Jam #48 up, we have it up on time too (insert ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ here). And furthermore, we have a brand new public take to go with it: our first take of “Acres of Clams”. Enjoy, folks!

We’re pretty solidly into summer doldrums at the moment — but we do have a new Jam Report up! Check it out, folks.

Jam #46 is up, featuring a visit by a new potential jammer, Cheryl, and much goodness contributed by the returning Mimi!

We didn’t busk at Folklife — but we hope to maybe busk at the Farmers’ Market in the University District later this summer. Monica has volunteered to be contact person for that, so more bulletins on this as events warrant!

Yet another late Jam Report: Jam #45. However, by way of propitiation to the Tardiness Gods, I also offer up on my personal journal a report on what two of Three Good Measures did at Folklife 2002!

Although it is long overdue, Jam #44 is now posted, all; in other news, someone actually used our contact form! I mean, like, wow, somebody out there’s actually listening to us and stuff. Gosh! (Anybody else out there, don’t be shy. Say hi to us!)

Another doubleheader Jam Report posting: Jam #42 and Jam #43! I hope to heck somebody out there is reading these things. ;)

In other news, for any of y’all who are paying attention, we are not going to try to busk at Folklife this year on the grounds that a) a lot of us simply haven’t been around enough to practice, and b) we are hearing rumors that trying to do busking there is almost more trouble than it’s worth. So we’ll have to see if we can manage smaller outings later this summer, after several of us get more time to practice (e.g., Fred, who has finally rejoined us after months at sea, and Mimi, who has just embarked on another trip East)! More bulletins on this as events warrant.

Two, two, TWO Jam Reports for the price of one! Jam #40 and Jam #41 are now both up.

I also rearranged things around here a bit, to better organize the growing number of Jam Reports we have archived, and I decided to use a bit of background variety for a slightly different look. Hope y’all like it, folks.

Although it’s quite late, Jam #39 is up now! And part of the reason this report is so late is because of Norwescon, at which I had some amusing musical experiences; anybody who’s interested in those can read about them on my Livejournal.

No Jam #39 yet, on account of only Monica showed up for our last session, so we mostly just did some music-geek workshop-y sorts of things that will hopefully bear fruit in upcoming sessions; we played around with “Dancing With Mrs. White” so’s I could whip up a harmony part, and we also futzed some with “Old Black Rum” and “Sexuality” and a very little bit of “You Woke Up My Neighborhood”. Oh, and trying to find a bridge for “Old Woman of Wexford”, too. Watch this space for further details, folks. In the meantime, just because it is warranted, I have added the links for the official sites of the Irish Descendants and the Fables to our Links page. You should go check ’em out. Them’s some Newfoundlanders that sing right fine.

A very belated Jam #38 is up, our first official practice session for what will hopefully become fruitful busking this summer. Also, just in case any of y’all out there happened to notice or care, I have a shiny new personal domain name, annathepiper.org. That’s the link over there on the side of this page; it goes to my personal web site, of which the TGM page is a part. This means you can now get to the TGM page with the shiny new URL of https://www.annathepiper.org/tgm — though of course the old one of http://www.murkworks.net/~anna/tgm will still work too. So update your bookmarks, or not.
